Join Anjali Douglas DipWSET to explore Bordeaux's lesser known – but no less delicious – sparkling, white and rosé wines.
Event details
When thinking about Bordeaux, the wines that probably come to mind are the powerful, prestigious reds of the Médoc – a region rightly deserving of its global reputation for quality.
However, there are other styles made in Bordeaux that may offer something unexpected: elegant sparkling wines, complex whites, and a wide variety of rosé wine is being produced to exceptional standards.
Join Anjali Douglas DipWSET to explore these lesser known wines, and discover the high quality, complexity and value that can be found in the lighter wines of Bordeaux.

About the presenter, Anjali Douglas DipWSET
Anjali worked in hospitality while studying her A-Levels, never intending to make a career out of it. She then started working in education for museums and galleries, producing events and festivals to attract diverse audiences. She caught the wine bug five years ago and returned to hospitality, starting her new career in a wine bar, before moving on to become responsible for training hospitality staff and sommeliers for a wine distributor. Now, she teaches Levels 1-2 at WSET School London. No matter what industry she is in, Anjali’s aim is to open up conventionally elitist institutions, art forms, and beverages, to more.
